I don't understand the continued disappointment w/Collins, you know what to expect. Dems have a much much bigger problem w/Kristen Systema & that Joe Manchin. Get them in line.

Before I reduce myself to insulting Susan Collins... and I will momentarily, I have to agree with what marhart123 wrote. Republicans are too “white” to their own detriment. I mean her removing “Gwen Verson” tremulous voice is an agitating quirk (Not on you Gwen you’re a goddess) that communicates her wavering, hypocrital, disingenuous, political maneuverings that harm lives.

Okay, so this is the insult part:

Woman? how do you kiss your grand babies with that vindictive, dishonorable, decrepit, lying, mouth? I’m done and I love your work Michaelangelo.

It is amazing to me that the good people of Maine continue to allow themselves to be fooled by Ms Collins. Certainly the most notorious flip flop came after the 1st impeachment when she voted no and then said 'he had learned his lesson'. Yeah right. She did before she didn't just like her colleague Lindsay Graham, another one who ought to know better, but doesn't have the sense or the spine. I am beginning to believe that there has to be a Stacy Abrams style campaign to engage democratic voters around the entire country.

The word "odious" was invented for Susan Collins.

There is also the fact that Equality Maine endorsed Sara Gideon, Collins' Democratic opponent in the 2020 Senate race. Some years earlier Collins was awarded an honor by what was then known as The Maine Lesbian and Gay Alliance, but Collins refused to accept the award. In 2016, Equality Maine approached Collins about co-sponsoring the Equality Act and she refused. It is sad that much of Maine, once a KKK stronghold preying on the rural communities' fear of 'outsiders,' remains so stuck in the past.

I want to make subscribers aware of a NYT article today, which reports that the Southern Baptist Convention has expelled 2 of it’s member churches for “affirming homosexual behavior”. I have just penned supporting letters to the 2 churches who have taken a stand on embracing ALL , including gay congregation members. The churches are Towne View Baptist Church Kennesaw,Ga & St.Matthews Baptist Church Louisville,Ky. They need your support to strengthen their stand in fighting the bigoted and small “c” so called christian attitude that the Baptist hierarchy have exposed once again.I am an atheist but will always support true Christian people who respect who I am and are not wanting to push their religion onto others.

Michelangelo, thanks to your report ,I immediately wrote a letter to Collins and reminded her of her “duplicitous” , inconsistent stand on this Equality Bill. I suggest that your followers write to Collins. Letters do change minds.
